After numerous trials with CUDA enabled machines, I found the "cost function" models are better at determining efficiency.

For example:

* A single GPU machine is often more efficient than multiple cards due to bus i/o bandwidth constraints, lack of software support, and obscure driver failure modes

* A single CPU machine is often more efficient than multi-chip solutions due to memory access latency and caching issues

* A sequential drive data access machine is often more efficient than arrays due to pipelined memory cache layout and baked access latency

* A single CPU core bound process is often more efficient due to avoiding threading and or mailbox overheads

Thus, if a problem is truly separable, than it is sometimes wiser to bind n-many slow jobs to n-many cores rather than parallelize 1 job to try to get it done more quickly.

I found this rather surprising in processing large video media data sets.

Some may disagree, but they are mostly 15% to 30% more wrong for truly separable tasks. YMMV =3

Apple gets its money from all around the world, so every country pays a part of those buybacks.

The USA in 1940 were a smaller empire than they are now so, I might be wrong, but the Manhattan project money came mostly from inside the country.

This means that it's easier for Apple to find and spend those money than it was for the USA in 1940.

I'm pretty sure that the policymakers did NOT understand ML models in 2014 - and still do NOT understand it today.

I also don't think that they care. They don't care that ML is a hodgepodge of data & compute, and they don't care how hard it is to remove data from a model.

They didn't care about the ease or difficulty of removing data from more traditional types of knowledge storage either - like search indexes, database backups and whatnot.

RTBF was not proposed with any specific technology in mind. What they had in mind, was to try and give individuals a tool, to keep their private information private. Like, if you have a private, unlisted phone number, and that number somehow ends up on the call-list of some pollster firm, you can force that firm to delete your number so that they can't call you anymore.

The idea is, that if your private phone number (or similar data) ends up being shared or sold without your consent - you can try to undo the damage.

In practice it might still be easier to get a new number, than to have your leaked one erased... but not all private data is exchangeable like that.

I think they predate that by a lot, and I don't think it was anything to do with the ultra wealthy.

IMO people talking about political correctness often miss an important point though: that what's believed to be acceptable is largely derived from an actual philosophy that is changing over time, which develops and evolved as society processes new ideas in the background. That processing happens online and in communities, in books and essays, in art, etc... and then everyone becomes aware of its new conclusions over time.

All of the philosophical work underpinning the 2010s was very much around in the preceding decades in a less crystallized form, but it rose to prominence on the back of various crises and scandals. I can attest, for instance, that the underlying philosophy of social justice predates Occupy, because I first heard it in college in 2009-2010ish, and it wasn't new then. By that point it had a life of its own already, as people people subscribed to it (because it gave them a framework to feel like they were being a moral person).

Aside, I think people overpredict manipulation of culture by organizations and elites because they aren't sufficiently imaginative to see how it could happen organically. Ideas have lives of their own, largely based on the problems they solve for people: how to feel moral in their life, how to put into words their moral intuitions about justice and duty, etc, and (rarely, much less than people think, but definitely sometimes) how to have social power over other people.

+1. My team still favors batteries-included style systems, even if it means missing out on the latest thing all the cool kids on the internet are talking about. For languages, this usually means sticking with the standard library that ships with it along with one or two libraries that augment it (e.g., BOOST for C++). It's not like "batteries included" eliminates the problem - a bad actor can wander in there and cause trouble. It's just a much more controlled environment that often has a process for contributing. I'm not a fan of the move of languages away from rich standard libraries to the "Random Interconnected Pile Of Internet Stuff".

Unfortunately people like me are in the minority it seems, and the "move fast and break stuff" mentality seems to still dominate the open source world even if that phrase has fallen out of favor - the attitude still seems to exist.
you said, 'Rust, though large, is in some sense quite minimal. Lot's of features in Rust are actually needed to allow x'

this logically entails that x is not possible without those features. if x is possible without them, they are not actually needed to allow x. so, although you hadn't noticed, you were saying a lot about what is and isn't possible

I suspect the maximum stored energy for the compressed air solution is significantly higher.

Not only can you store the energy required to lift the water to the surface, but after all the water is lifted you can keep compressing the air in the closed reservoir to store even more energy.

If you only used water you could of course build an open reservoir with more storage capacity instead. But maybe these will be built in areas where that’s not feasible. It’d take much more space on the surface, and you need to deal with evaporation.

> the system extracts heat from the air and stores it above ground for reuse. As the air goes underground, it displaces water from the cavern up a shaft into a reservoir.

> When it’s time to discharge energy, the system releases water into the cavern, forcing the air to the surface. The air then mixes with heat that the plant stored when the air was compressing, and this hot, dense air passes through a turbine to make electricity.

By "releases water into the cavern", do they mean simply opening the air valve to let the air (pressured by the water) come back out?
> I have never seen anyone write "Prince's Hwy" (or "King's Hwy" for that matter), the apostrophe-free version would be far more common.

I don't know what to tell you; I've seen it often. I'm talking day to day here, text messages and handwritten directions. If you're thinking of things like road signs, those will obviously follow official usage.

> The "Princess Hwy" thing is also common I think because the pronunciation most often used sounds a lot like "Princess", particularly when it's run right into "Highway" without a gap.

Obviously that is so, but I would suggest that the reason 'Princess Hwy' is comparatively so much more common than other similar mistakes (e.g. 'sea' for 'see' etc.) is because the official name (Princes Highway) feels so unnatural in English that it fails to act as a meaningful standard for usage.
Worth highlighting that make defines a DAG, and that you can run make tasks in parallel which will automatically bottleneck (as desired) on common dependencies, and fan out otherwise.

The sort of massive C++ build that make can handle are typically much more complicated than your average ETL pipeline. So, there is plenty of room to grow into make.

The issue, I think, is that you're extrapolating from the usecase where high bandwidth ethernet is carried over the power lines. Protocols' like X10 bandwidth use and needs are so low (dozens of bits per second) that the interference is indistinguishable from the regular power fluctuations.
The short answer is that pumped hydro is mature technology with a pretty wide range of places it can be implemented (at least in Australia[0], which has a mountain range going down the east coast where everyone lives). A-CAES has three advantages, which are in my opinion aren't very fundamental:

1. It takes up less space on the surface than most PHES. This... is almost always a marginal benefit.

2. It doesn't require building a reservoir or dam. These are very well regulated in Australia and elsewhere, and the downsides are known so they are quite slow to get approval.

3. It's a bit quicker at 2.5 - 3.5 years as opposed to 3-7 years.[1] This is a bigger advantage than it looks if you have some tricky renewable energy targets to hit by 2030 (see our 42% emissions reductions target as well as an 82% renewable energy target)

I can't see this gaining traction outside of a few locations in Australia, at least. I wouldn't be surprised if A-CAES is only briefly viable as a result of subsidies and cheap government financing.

Four thousand years from now, P-Cygnian explorers arrive to find a desolate Earth-- the evidence of mankind is spread far and wide but no humans remain.

Every known civilization inevitably discovers the same design for fusion power or dies before it makes it that far: apparently it's the only one that works.

That means that you need to fork your own project, and there is no way to communicate it to the users, since the new account could just be someone pretending to be you.

If there is a security vulnerability, it would remain unfixed forever.

Now if you say that you backup your 2nd factor seed in your password manager, where your password is… congratulations you're doing over-complicated 1 factor authentication!

> I am pretty sure Israeli spendings to push Israeli narratives in the US are minuscule

Quite the contrary, just look at ADL or AIPAC.
The sketch of history you’ve laid out here is misleading and wrong. You’re conveniently forgetting the fact that larger powers deliberately set out to destroy local languages in favor of their own imperial ones, and that Romantic nationalism was a direct response to this. Polish nationalism in the 19th century was continually boosted by the anti-Polish cultural behavior of the larger empires, which tried to erase Polish culture and language in favor of German or Russian. Conversely in the Austrian partition, there was more local tolerance for Polish culture and subsequently Poles had a slightly more amicable relationship with the Austrian-Hungarians.

It seems you simply don’t know your history.

One view is that after the war people had a lot of new technologies and knowledge but nothing else, as it was destroyed during the war or all drilled to support the war machine. Since the knowledge was there and also a lot of level plain field (pun intended) new visions were developed to rebuild and put people to work.
Nowadays most people have most necessities and also luxury stuff making it easy to be on the nimby train rather than developing a small understanding for the complexities of our current world and what decisions can be simple but impactful.

> And then the dog just ignores it. Because he can. That’s the privilege that comes with having fur, with being a dog in Ohio. He doesn’t have to think about it. He doesn’t have to live daily with the cold. He has no idea what he’s talking about, and he will never, ever be forced to learn. He can keep making the lizard miserable until the day they both die, and he will never suffer for it beyond the mild annoyance of her complaining. And she, meanwhile, gets to try not to freeze to death.

This paragraph in particular is just calling me out directly as a clueless white male. And the next sentence just basically says be better, believe people. I’m not sure who the audience is that this is going to land for that needs to hear it.

Privilege is of course a real thing but, the discourse around it is entirely one sided. There is feminine privilege and black privilege, but if you’re a young man you won’t ever see any discourse regarding privilege framed in that manner even if they’re plainly apparent to you. The author only brings up male lack of sexual attention to demonstrate how oblivious men are to women’s issues.

In my opinion bringing up the concept of privilege does very little to further the significantly more important underlying progressive values of empathy compassion and understanding. Telling men they’re bad and clueless isn’t the way to way to win them over to progressivism.

This isn’t just limited to the concept of privilege but is pervasive through the progressive discourse and is why it appears young men are flocking to red pill and conservatism in droves.

These bacteria were not intentionally brought to the ISS, they hitched a ride in/on the crews and colonized the station. From the paper [1]:

We obtained 211 assembled genomes, annotated as E. bugandensis, from the publicly available National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) GenBank sequence database [20]. Among these genomes, 12 were isolated from three different locations aboard the ISS during the first Flight of the MT-1 mission: four from the Air Control (AC) samples, one from the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED), and seven from the Waste and Hygiene Compartment (WHC). Additionally, one metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) was recovered from the WHC samples.

Oh crap, only problem though is the only observable science we've done on this kind of evolution left E.coli to remain as E.coli after 75000 generations (Lenski experiments), leaving no clue about how the simplest known living cell with some 400+ genes (at ~1k bases each roughly speaking) arose, unfortunately.

But let's just call this evolution and pretend that it explains something of the goo-to-you type of evolution most people think about when talking about evolution!
